Content Organization¶
Django Cast provides flexible ways to organize and categorize your content through tags and categories. This helps readers discover related content and improves site navigation.
Categories / Tags¶
Django Cast supports both categories and tags as content-organization primitives, and both are enabled by default. They are not competing options you have to choose between: they solve different problems, so you can use either, both, or neither.
Categories are best for a small, stable, curated set of groupings that rarely changes.
Tags are best for a large, freeform set of labels that changes often.
Both power the faceted navigation on blog and podcast list pages, so readers can narrow posts by category and by tag with live result counts. See Search for the filter parameters and facet behavior.
Categories¶
Categories are one way to group posts. They come with their own snippet model so you can add them via the admin interface by clicking on one of the categories. A blog post can have multiple categories and a category can have multiple blog posts. If you want to add a new category, you have to add it using the wagtail admin interface.
Categories are the right choice when you do not have too many of them and they rarely change.
Tags¶
Tags are another way to group posts. They come with their own link to the taggit tag model. You can add tags to a blog post by using the standard wagtail tag interface. A blog post can have multiple tags and a tag can have multiple blog posts. If you want to add a new tag, there’s a text field with auto completion in the wagtail admin interface.
Tags are the right choice when you have a lot of them, they change often, and you don’t mind typing them in the admin interface.
